Brothers Osborne schedule new disc for September
TJ Osborne said, "We've always had a lot of mystery intentionally around the things we have done, but with this album, we decided to be all in. And doing that reminded me of what it was like when I first started playing music, when it was an outlet for my angst or just a way to have fun."
John said, "Since our last record, we've been very forthcoming with who we are. By acknowledging TJ's personal life and my mental-health struggles, we are more ourselves creatively and publicly than we've ever been."
TJ announced that he was gay, while John went public about mental health issues.
Mike Elizondo (Sheryl Crow, Turnstile, Dr. Dre, Twenty One Pilots, Lin-Manual Miranda) produced and utilized his own band of studio musicians, including Paul McCartney's drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. behind the kit. Miranda Lambert provided the LP's sole guest vocals on "We Ain't Good at Breaking Up," after co-writing the song with Brothers Osborne and Jesse Frasure.
The brothers co-wrote every song including the current single "Nobody's Nobody," penned with Elizondo and Kendell Marvel.
Brothers Osborne will celebrate the release with four newly-announced tour dates in October, performing in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Nashville. "These four shows will be very special and all will be different, showcasing music from our new album, and of course some of your old favorites."
"We are always pushing ourselves, always evolving and not afraid to change," John said. "But at the end of the day, we are also who we are." <>"This is a defining record at this point in our career, where we needed to put it all on our shoulders," TJ said. "And we did. Like it was when we were growing up, it's just John and me."
